Warning!!
Riding a tuned or deristricted EMTB is not a trivial offence and can have serious legal consequences. Also, many manufacturers can detect the use of a tuning device or deristricting method and may decline a repair under warranty if it was modified from the intended original specification. Deristricting EMTB's can also add increased loads for motors and batteries. Riding above the local law limit may reclassify the bike as a low-powered bike, requiring insurance, registration and a number plate.
Be aware of your local country laws. Many laws prohibit use of modified EMTB's. It is your responsibility to check local laws. Ignoring it, has potential implications to trail access, and risk of prosecution in the event of an accident.
We advise members great caution. EMTB Forums accepts no liability for any content or advice given here.
Shimano EP6

Please never, ever intend to use a "chip" (an additonal electronic hardware - box, also called "dongle" like SpeedBox, MBIQ, BadAss, RedPad, PearTune as well as Planet3 „mechanical tuning“, etc.) on an "EP6 motor" (DU-EP600) because this will definitely not work on the new generation drive units (DU-EP500, DU-EP600 and DUEP801) and will generate E295 and (after 4 times E295) finally E299 errors after riding just a few kilometres and finally will completely lock the motor support!
In this case Shimano has to unlock the drive unit and this is a highly time and money consuming process.
Also you will never get rid of the E299 again and so your bike most probably is already flagged for out of warranty for a lifetime, even if the drive unit was unlocked again by Shimano.
So, if you want to derestrict such a DU-EP500, DU-EP600 or DUEP801 based bike, then better use the purely software based and fully integrated eMax-Tuning, because this will last on the long run absolutely hassle-free and error-free.
